best description of how cold it's been out here the past two days? by this guy.

*packs stuff up and moves to san diego, stat. when it warms up in late february/early march, then i'll head back to the bay area, but i think i need a winter where i can go to the beach every day. when it's warm out, i don't get sick. :P*

yes, i know arnie is fucking up my home state. but i still love it more than just about any other place on earth. i miss cool foggy mornings in the forest. i miss the insane variety of authentic food from all over the globe available there, and especially for how cheap i could get it. i miss acwlpfb. i want adobo, lumpia, pancit, and ensemadas. i miss my sea otters, and dungeness crab. i miss kayaking down the gualala river, and hiking in yosemite. i want to road trip california again, maybe as soon again as next year, so that i can keep it from slipping away into mere memory. i miss fresh fruit and vegetables available year-round - every time i go to star market here, i pick through the fruit/veggie baskets and i mourn. (and then i scurry the other direction over to bread and circus and bring home all the point reyes cheeses.) at stop-n-shop the other night, i was trying to find a couple of pears. they had three kinds there, and i picked up every single pear to test to see how ripe it was. and every. single. pear. was hard as a rock.

(and dammit, i want an in-n-out burger for christmas. i'd settle for one from dick's, though.)

We're opposites! The holidays in shorts and tank tops REALLY doesn't work for me at all!

We should do a seasonal exchange! You can come live here where it's warm, and I'll go enjoy real seasons! :)

*grins* see, i was thinking australia. christmas barbecue on the beach. suntans for me, sunburns for the poor unfortunates who roast like lobsters no matter how high an spf they goop on. :)

i'd settle for it being in the high 50s on christmas day this year, though. i know i'm not going to *get* it, but a girl can dream. *sigh*

I'd settle for it being in the high 50s, too. I know I won't see that, either. :)

Okay, that guy's whole "it's so cold" story thing = ROFL. Heahahahaha.

Heh reminds me of a guy I was friends with in HS. He'd come into class in the morning and yell "IT'S COLD AS BALLS!" and demonstrate how far his own had retracted on the "Balls-o-meter", which was not as lewd as it sounds, all he did was move his arm like one of those "Applause-o-meters". Ah, good times good times!
